Super-Regional Bound!

Finally some good news from the sporting world back home!

The U-M baseball team upset overall #1 seeded Vanderbilt twice to claim the Regional Championship and advance to the Super-Regionals.

They will now play a best-of-three series against either Oregon State or Virginia, with the winner advancing to the College World Series. The CWS is a double-elimination round of 8 teams, so they've still got a ways to go to reach the top of the mountain, but the Super-Regionals are essentially baseball's "Sweet Sixteen".

This is Michigan's first Regional Championship since 1984--a good year for baseball in SE Michigan.
